What can I say? It's now the most beautiful possession I have ever owned. The sound is so sweetly different - even from my ES 335, it's difficult to put into words. The tonal spectrum of this guitar - indescribable. Its value is in both its beauty and its sound - a sonic monster. Get one. You'll never regret it.
